About Mike

Mike Lloyd helps people with relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, motivation and confidence. He works in a client-centred way, using practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. He is registered with BACP and NCPS and has six years of professional experience.

His approach focuses on talking through what is happening now and on practical steps forward. Sessions often look at unhelpful thinking and small behavioural changes that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. He also uses short-term, goal-focused techniques to identify clear next steps when clients want quicker change.

Mike aims to make conversations straightforward and to help people notice small shifts that make a difference. He will listen to current difficulties and then agree on what to work on together. That might include improving communication, managing anger, addressing intimacy concerns or planning career changes.

He has experience across a wide range of topics, from depression and coping with life transitions to more specific challenges such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability and ageing and geriatric issues. He also addresses problems like infidelity, divorce and family of origin issues.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. The first meeting focuses on what matters most now and on setting realistic, practical goals for subsequent sessions.

How his approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective to help them find their own solutions. It suits people who want someone to reflect and clarify their thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with low mood, anxiety and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small achievable goals and immediate steps forward, which can be useful when someone wants quicker, task-oriented work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. That makes the process collaborative and helps decide which methods to use over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for focusing on exercises and homework between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, often find remote work helps maintain continuity of care while people balance work, family and other commitments.
